New-NetFirewallHyperVRule

Specifies that matching Hyper-V firewall rules of the indicated action are created. This parameter specifies the action to take on traffic that matches this rule. The acceptable values for this parameter are: Allow or Block.

• Allow: Network packets that match all criteria specified in this rule are permitted through the firewall. This is the default value.
• Block: Network packets that match all criteria specified in this rule are dropped by the firewall.

The default value is Allow.

Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.

Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Specifies that matching Hyper-V firewall rules of the indicated direction are created. This parameter specifies which direction of traffic to match with this rule. The acceptable values for this parameter are: Inbound or Outbound.

The default value is Inbound.

Specifies that only matching Hyper-V firewall rules of the indicated display name are created. Specifies the localized, user-facing name of the Hyper-V firewall rule being created. When creating a rule this parameter is required. This parameter value is locale-dependent. When writing scripts in multi-lingual environments, the Name parameter should be used instead, where the default value is a randomly assigned value. This parameter cannot be set to All.

Specifies that matching Hyper-V firewall rules of the indicated state are created. This parameter specifies that the rule object is administratively enabled or administratively disabled. The acceptable values for this parameter are:

• True: Specifies the rule is currently enabled.
• False: Specifies the rule is currently disabled.

Note that the type of this parameter is not Boolean, therefore $true and $false variables are not acceptable values here. Use "True" and "False" text strings instead.

A disabled rule will not actively modify computer behavior, but the management construct still exists on the computer so it can be re-enabled.

The default value is True.

Specifies that network packets with matching IP addresses match this rule. This parameter value is an IPv4 or IPv6 address, hostname, subnet, or range. The acceptable formats for this parameter are:

• Single IPv4 Address: 1.2.3.4
• Single IPv6 Address: fe80::1
• IPv4 Subnet (by network bit count): 1.2.3.4/24
• IPv6 Subnet (by network bit count): fe80::1/48
• IPv4 Subnet (by network mask): 1.2.3.4/255.255.255.0
• IPv4 Range: 1.2.3.4-1.2.3.7
• IPv6 Range: fe80::1-fe80::9

The default value is Any.

Specifies that network packets with matching IP local port numbers match this rule. The acceptable values are:

• Port range: 0-65535
• Port number: 80

The default value is Any.

Specifies that only matching Hyper-V firewall rules of the indicated name are created. This name serves as the unique identifier for this rule. This parameter acts just like a file name, in that only one rule with a given name may exist in a policy store at a time.

The default value is a randomly assigned value.

Specifies one or more profiles to which the hyper-v firewall rule is assigned. The rule is active on the local computer only when the specified profile is currently active. This relationship is many-to-many and can be indirectly modified by the user, by changing the Profiles field on instances of rules. Only one profile is applied at a time. The acceptable values for this parameter are: Any, Domain, Private, Public, or NotApplicable. The default value is Any. Separate multiple entries with a comma and do not include any spaces.

Specifies that network packets with matching IP protocol match this rule. The acceptable values for this parameter are:

• Protocols by number: 0-255.
• Protocols by name: TCP, UDP, ICMPv4, or ICMPv6.

The default value is Any.

Specifies that network packets with matching IP addresses match this rule. This parameter value is an IPv4 or IPv6 address, subnet, or range. The acceptable formats for this parameter are:

• Single IPv4 Address: 1.2.3.4
• Single IPv6 Address: fe80::1
• IPv4 Subnet (by network bit count): 1.2.3.4/24
• IPv6 Subnet (by network bit count): fe80::1/48
• IPv4 Subnet (by network mask): 1.2.3.4/255.255.255.0
• IPv4 Range: 1.2.3.4-1.2.3.7
• IPv6 Range: fe80::1-fe80::9

The default value is Any.

Specifies that network packets with matching IP port numbers match this rule. The acceptable values are:

• Port range: 0-65535
• Port number: 80

The defauly value is Any.

Specifies the order in which rules are evaluated. A lower priority rule is evaluated before a higher priority rule.

The default value is based on the action of the rule. A rule with Action Allow is set to priority 2, and a rule with Action Block is 1. This configures, by default, Block rules to take precedence over Allow rules.

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, Windows PowerShell calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer.

The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.

Specifies that network packets originating from a VM matching this VMCreatorId matches this rule. The format for this value is a GUID enclosed in brackets: '{9E288F02-CE00-4D9E-BE2B-14CE463B0298}'.

The default value is Any.

Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.
